Pretty cool! It looks like someone special ordered it and by that, I mean a person/customer and not a dealer. I think that makes a car more special. Not necessarily worth more, just special in a great way!
Nice photo of the Cuda, it looks like you have a great starting point for a nice ride! I am a fan of the 72 Cuda, especially the 340 cars. I have had 3 72's - two 340 cars (one was a 340 Cuda and one was a 340 Barracuda) as well as a 318 car (Barracuda) that I dropped a 340 in for a while. My avatar pic is my 72 that now has a 440.
Please show more pics of the car - I, for one, love to see the in process pics. It does help us on the motivation side sometimes (for our own projects)!
